and supporting a Vision Zero goal by the year 2050
Whereas, St. Louis Park is committed to providing a variety of options for people to make
their way around the city comfortably, safely and reliably; and
Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park applied for and received a planning grant from the
Federal Highway Administration for a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) to develop a Safe
Streets Action Plan (Plan); and
Whereas, the Plan is committed to a Vision Zero goal of working toward eliminating fatal
and severe injury crashes by the year 2050; and
Whereas, safe access for all users is essential to a thriving community, and the Safe
Streets Action Plan outlines objectives, policies and recommendations that can guide future
transportation investments; and
Whereas, the Plan completed an analysis of the existing conditions and historical trends
on the streets and roads in St. Louis Park and identified a comprehensive set of areas and
strategies, shaped by data, the best available evidence and noteworthy practices, as well as
stakeholder input and equity considerations to address roadway safety challenges; and
Whereas, the Plan will help inform capital improvement planning and guide the pursuit of
funding opportunities aimed at improving overall roadway safety at priority locations; and
Now therefore be it resolved that the City of St. Louis Park approves the Safe Streets
Action Plan and commits to implementing the Plan and integrating its strategies into city
polices, programs and capital improvement planning as appropriate. The Plan guides staff to
track progress, report on performance measures and update the plan as needed.
